Standard cooker hoods are designed to be wall mounted above your range cooker at a height according to guidance from the manufacturer. Cooker hoods consist of a main canopy and a chimney section, which is extendable to allow movement in total height. The motor inside the hood sucks air through filters before expelling it to the outside. Where this is not possible, most cooker hoods can be set to recirculate filtered air back into the room.

Cooker hood styles

Cooker hoods vary in style - from traditional chimney style hoods, with slanted canopy sections, through to more contemporary slab style cooker hoods with rectangular, horizontal canopy sections. A lot of manufacturers offer cooker hoods with flat or curved glass canopy sections that work extremely well in more modern kitchens.

Integrated cooker hoods

Designed to fit into enclosed spaces, integrated cooker hoods are ideal if your range cooker is positioned in a disused chimney breast, or if you wish to conceal your hood in a kitchen cupboard. Integrated cooker hoods are finished on the underside only - the only part that is visible - and will either extract or recirculate in the normal way.

Island cooker hoods

Island hoods are designed for kitchens in which the cooker is positioned away from a wall, and as a result are finished visually on all four sides. Island cooker hoods tend to be more contemporary in style, and are largely available in stainless steel, although Britannia offer a good selection of alternative colours.
